Abstract

Polyvinylaminals, optionally as the formed copolymer with polyvinylhemiaminals, and polyvinylacetals are useful as flocculants and epoxy resin and polyurethane crosslinking agents and are provided by reacting a poly(vinylamine) or a copolymer containing vinyl alcohol and vinylamine units with a monoaldehyde. The aldehyde, such as butyraldehyde, can be introduced in the polymer acetalization as a liquid or gas, generally in a proportion of about 0.02 to 0.5 mol per mol of alcohol and amine units in the polymer chain.
